Leaving is also about coming back

“Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colours. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.” ~ Terry Pratchett

Anyone who has left their place of origin feels that force which pushes to come back. I do not prejudge if this force is based on love or on fer, nor if this will happen.

This distance with ‘before leaving’ is engraved in us and in the people we are linked to as well. The one who is leaving and those who are not

The representations that we build are always changing and there is no need to go far for it. Life and the changes that go with it simply create those changes. We grow up, we become more independent.

Leaving our first nest make us switch to another life frame and its countless differences, small, big and huge, gorgeous, surprising and unbearable all together.

Leaving from countryside to an urban area or from a city to the countryside, from a town to a another town, going from the East to the West or vice versa; changing countries, changing continent … changing planet for our children one day ? !

Moving, displace our benchmarks, changing our angle perception; here we are ! 

Leaving for a new place is about loading our self with novelties, new benchmarks, and new values.

It is about moving the perception angle we have of our self, of others and of the societies that contain us all.

It is about changing, a little, a lot, with passion; never not at all.

This perception of our self in our new environment; our personality, is not a new one but is richer with other experiences.

We see, we feel, we taste in a different way.

Do we leave to fly away from something or someone ?

Do we wander away with a complex of loyalty ?

In any case, rich of new acquisitions; the kaleidoscope is on its way, within us and within the other people around us as well !

Have a magical day !
